CHARLEMAGNE

[etwrchar]

On Christmas day in the year 800, the principle event in the life of Charles the Great took place; Pope St Leo III crowned Charlemagne as the Holy Roman Emperor. During the Pontifical Mass celebrated by Pope St. Leo III, as the King knelt in prayer before the High Altar Beneath which lay the bodies of Saints Peter amd Paul, the Pope approached him, and placed on his head the Imperial Crown, did him formal reverence after the ancient manner, saluted him as Emperor and Augustus, and anointed him, while the Romans cheerfully acclaimed thre times, "To Carolus Augustus crowned by God, mighty and pacific Emperor, be life and victory."
The Imperial Crown is also known as the famous Iron Crown of Lombardy. It is believed thatone of the Holy nails, probably the one Emperor Constantine the Great had set in his helmet, was placed in the Crown.
According to Einhard's "Vita Caroli" Charlemagne had no suspicion of what was about to happen to him. If he was tipped off beforehand, he would not have accepted the Honor. What a Christmas present! The headress is now preserved in the Cathedral of Monza.
